Shepherd’s Pie
10 steps
Prep:20minCook:25min
Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie are similar dishes, but there is a difference in the type of meat used in each.
Traditionally, Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb or mutton as the main meat ingredient, while Cottage Pie is made with beef.
This difference in meat choice comes from the origins of the dishes. Shepherd's Pie is believed to have originated in Ireland and the UK, where lamb or mutton is more commonly consumed. Cottage Pie, on the other hand, is believed to have originated in England, where beef is more readily available.
Other than the difference in meat, the two dishes are prepared similarly with mashed potatoes on top of a meat and vegetable base, and then baked in the oven until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Nowadays, the terms Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie are often used interchangeably, with beef being a more common and affordable meat choice in many regions.
